Comedians come up with a lot of bad ideas. But they’ll also do anything for a joke. One such example is today’s guest, Ted Moss, and his idea for a low-budget, unplanned RV comedy tour and web series, The Broke N Road Comedy Tour. Ted and another comic, Billy Reno, will travel all over the US this winter and perform comedy anywhere people will have them – clubs, rest areas, RV parks, you name it. Joel thinks this is a terrible idea, even if he likes both comics a lot. Money? Food? Sex? Who’s taping the videos? Ted, ever the salesman, has an answer for everything and thinks the tour will be a smashing success. Or, at least ,he’ll find a vacation home. It’s always entertaining listening to Ted! Also, Joel’s wrestling pilgrimages continue as he travels to Ring of Honor in Chicago, where he had a front row seat and even wrote an airport love letter to a wrestler, because the show was so good. Plus, Blade Runner 2049 lives up to the hype, Alien: Covenant is a good one of those, Nathan For You is fantastic and funny, and find out why Joel won’t watch comedy on TV and why he doesn’t miss working the road.

In a week of sad news, Joel and Corey had some highlights anyway. Joel attended Paul McCartney’s recent show at the brand new Little Caesar’s Arena in Detroit, and Corey saw Monty Python legend John Cleese at an appearance. Hear about Joel’s excellent, but odd, seating arrangement at the show, a full review of the not-all-that-impressive building and why Paul still puts on a great show at 75-years-old. Corey details seeing the Python comic at a screening and Q&A session. Find out what it’s like to do those Q&As yourself, as both guys have done them – Corey with big hitters in the film world and Joel with wrestling legends Roddy Piper and a less-than-cooperative Iron Sheik. Plus, MC Sampler meets Mitch Albom, Whitney Houston’s new Showtime documentary reviewed, goodbye to Tom Petty, the Battle of the Sexes film reviewed and some background on the actual event, and the best 1970s snake/horror movie you will ever see.
